JOSH + REBECCA



















































































My vocabulary feels very limited when I try to adequately describe Josh + Rebecca and their wedding day.  I met Becky and the girls, casually getting ready and having mini-dance parties in between make-up applications, at Southland Bible Church after an hour drive to Washington.  The first time I met Rebecca was at a summer church camp called Cedar Mountain Retreat in my middle school years.  She rocked my world.  I have so many memories from camp and am so thankful for that experience.  I met Josh on their wedding day but as soon as he smiled I knew working with this couple would be a perfect fit for me.  It was said during their ceremony that if they both hadn't accepted Christ as their Savior they would've never met each other, never been married.  Oh, but God has His plans.  :)

Congrats, you two!  :)

BARCELONA, 2009



What a shame.  It's been over a year since I've been in another country and yet I've never shared with you, dear reader, my favorite photographs.  I've kept them to myself.  I think I posted an album on Facebook.  I've haven't made a pretty album like I said I would.  I've only made five prints of my favorite photographs.  And I tell people how important it is to print/frame/bind photographs?  (I'm researching album info. right now...promise!  Most likely will make one as soon as I get paid.)

This photograph was taken in 2009, whilst roaming in Barcelona.  I was in Park Güell.  This is overlooking the city.  Though slightly smoggy, quite crowded, and pretty noisy, I actually didn't find the city too...city-like.  The big patches of greenery covered sporadic areas of terrain and many buildings were historic and oh-so European.  The city people all had places to go but weren't pushy or rude about it.  We all just swayed on the Metro with our eyes half shut, having destinations but enjoying exactly where we were...

That's photograph one.  Here's to many more.
